farrah101 I feed my dog Canidae. It doesn't have any preservatives or ingredients I can not pronounce. I don't eat all that processed food and I don't like my dogs to eat it either. After I put them on this food there coats are shinier and they have tons of energy. Not...

What are the litte things in life that make you happy?

xanraven @xanraven (145) • United States 1 Aug 08

I truly enjoy seeing my kids laugh. I start smiling at them and it just fills every void that might have been there. To know that they are happy makes me happy. It's that way with my husband also. It means I have done my job the...

farrah101 I love to teach.. people, animals it doesn't matter. Get a thrill when you see the light bulb go on to a new idea. I feel the same way about learning something new especially if it took me a while to get it.

farrah101 Most K-9 cop cars have an air conditioned compartment for the dog. So that police officers can keep the windows up and their doggie partners safe in the vehicle while they do other things. Is this not the case with this offciers vehicle??? Was the air...

Does anyone have a large breed dog?

tlb0822 @tlb0822 (1410) • United States 4 Aug 08

When my fiance and I first got our dog dozer from the pound he only weighed 5lbs. Now he is massive and about 100lbs, and he is only 1 year old. He is a rottweiler, and another kind of breed, but we aren't sure what exactly. Our...

farrah101 I have a great dane 130 lbs, and an aussie 60 lobs. They both live in my house. I just make sure that I get them on the walks they need to expend energy. I think having 2 big dogs and a back yard helps. Keeping him entertained is individual to each dog but I...

Ritz100 @Ritz100 (1169) • Yecla, Spain 27 Jul 08

I have 5 dogs and this year we seem to have an epidemic of fleas, to the extent that we dunk the dogs in a barrel up to their necks for 5 minutes to drown the things (not the dogs, the fleas,) then shampoo them and hose them, and...

farrah101 If you give the dog a bath with dawn and then put white vinegar on them and let it set for 5 minutes before rinsing off it helps. They stink but it helps.

How can you get an adult dog to learn to play games?

amandalyn @amandalyn (42) • United States 28 Jul 08

Recently, my family adopted a wonderful 3 year old lab/gershep mix from AARF. Our Windy is very friendly, trained and just adorable. However, it seems that no one has ever taught her to play. Anyone have any ideas on how to get...

1 response

farrah101 Dogs can be taught that playing is inappropriate. Here is my advice. If you dog likes food you can start with a cheap plastic tupperware that is about the size of a ball. Put food inside of it pop some holes in it to let the food smell to come out. Shake it in...

Winging/Crying

bfitto @bfitto (12) 2 Aug 08

What do I do and how do I manage the behaviour. I have a 5year old male labrador that was a therapy dog at a nursing home where I worked. He has been with us for nearly 6 months now. He at 5.30am on the dot starts winging and...

farrah101 The advice I am going to give is going to drive you crazy but when a dog whines to get a result the way that you correct the behavior is to ignore it. Let him whine, you guys are up anyways. Lay there, ignore it and do not respond to him until he settles and...

Does your dog(s) make sounds or snore while they sleep?

CharRay7 @CharRay7 (1549) • United States 2 Aug 08

Hi, As most of you know, I have five dogs (in my avatar) and a couple of them will make weird noises while they are asleep, like they are dreaming or something. Their feet will move like they are trying to chase something and...

farrah101 They are dreaming... probably chasing that squirrel that you won't let them chase in real life. I have a Great Dane who does that in the middle of the night and if we are positioned wrong I can be removed from the bed by his kicking. As far as, the "what are...

farrah101 Few ways... #1 Don't give him anything from the table ever. He will throw an absolute fit but dogs are like children. If they throw a fit and get what they want they learn that it works. If it works for them why wouldn't they do it?? If you give in to them...

farrah101 My dogs get out to do things outside, even when weather isn't great. Which helps me to relieve stress. They also make me laugh. If you have the right pet for you I think definately. If you have one that doesnt fit your personality then it causes more.

farrah101 I have to agree with the comment that the head is typically more upright when dogs are sitting and can add a few more inches to a dogs height. Other than that though I think it depends on the breed. Some dogs are more square than others.
